回顾两会热点 | 在开放环境中取得更大发展，在高质量发展浪潮中赢得先机
近期，AECOM大中华区执行总裁钟小平先生受《中国日报》之邀，作为多位在华跨国企业负责人之一，发表了对于“高质量发展”与“外商投资法”这两个两会热词的看法。
虽然全国“两会”已经落下帷幕，但关于“高质量发展”以及“外商投资法”的热议还未结束。作为一家全球领先的基础设施公司，同时也是一家参与中国改革开放、深耕当地20余年的跨国企业，AECOM密切关注着中国经济向高质量发展的转型升级，也期待迎来更开放的营商环境。
钟小平先生在采访中指出，高质量的基础设施可为中国经济高质量发展夯实基础；而《外商投资法》的出台，将在构建更优化的营商环境上发挥至关重要的作用。这两个关键词的叠加，充分彰显了中国将以高水平对外开放推动经济高质量发展的决心，也为提供高质量专业服务的AECOM在中国的发展给予了有力的支持和保障。
Q1: The year 2019 marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. What in your opinion are China’s biggest achievements to date? What are the biggest achievements made by your company so far?
今年是中华人民共和国成立70周年。您认为中国迄今取得的最大成就是什么？贵公司迄今取得的最大成就又是什么？
From my industry’s perspective, China has accomplished something in a few decades that may take others hundreds of years. Its advancement in urbanization and infrastructure development has helped nurture many world-class cities that are now crucial to the future. AECOM is honored to have been a part of this over the past 40 years. We are proud to have been a contributor in building a better China and our biggest achievement has been successfully leveraging AECOM’s global experience to deliver a better world for people in China.
从AECOM所处的基础设施行业来看，中国在过去几十年内取得的巨大成绩，对于其他国家来说，可能需要数百年的时间。中国在城市化进程及基础设施建设上的进步与发展，推动了了大批世界级城市的建立，这些城市将成为未来世界经济的重要枢纽与桥梁。作为中国改革开放40年的参与者，AECOM为能将我们的国际经验在中国充分展开应用，为当地人民构筑一个更美好的世界而深感自豪。

Q2: China’s economic growth moderated to 6.6 percent last year as it shifted its focus to
high-quality growth. How does your “China strategy” fit into the new trend?
中国经济已由高速增长阶段转向高质量发展阶段，受国内经济结构调整，去年增速放缓，全年增长6.6%。贵公司在华发展策略是否适应这样的新趋势？
After so many years of rapid growth, to focus on high-quality growth is definitely a bold strategic move. As a global company, we always admire China’s efficiency in implementing national strategies. Along with its shift of focus on quality growth, we find its city cluster initiative inspiring. AECOM has already gained valuable experience by working on projects in city clusters like the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei province cluster, the Yangtze River Economic Belt, as well as the Greater Bay Area. We are committed to continuing to offer our world-leading integrated services in urban development and infrastructure building to create new international icons in these regions.
改革开放以来，中国经济实现了30多年的经济高速增长，年均增速接近10%，如今转向高质量发展，是极具胆识和战略眼光的。作为一家跨国公司，我们十分钦佩中国在实施国家战略方面的效率。在这一背景下，中国推动城市群成为引领高质量发展重要动力源的举措，为我们所在的行业发展提供了重要的启发和思考价值。在京津冀、长江经济带以及粤港澳大湾区重点战略发展区域内，AECOM积极参与当地基础设施建设，并累积了十分宝贵的经验。我们将继续不遗余力地为中国城镇化发展和基础设施建设提供世界领先的一体化服务，以期为这些地区打造更多标志性的工程。
”Q3: What are your views on the draft foreign investment law? How will China’s ongoing efforts to further open up the economy and protect the legitimate interests of foreign companies help your business in China?
您对外商投资法草案有何看法？中国在扩大对外开放、保护外商投资企业的合法权益上推行的多项举措，将对贵公司在华经营带来哪些积极的影响？
We have learned that the bill has entered the review and debate stage and we will pay close attention to how the law will evolve and how it will impact us. The nation’s continuous efforts in further openingup are definitely welcomed by foreign companies like AECOM. We just designated our Shanghai office as our China headquarters in December, and in the second quarter this year, we will officially open our western hub in Chengdu. We look forward to a more open and foreign-investment friendly operating environment where we can further develop our capabilities in China.
在接受采访时，该草案已提请审议，目前正式文本也已公布。我们乐见中国政府进一步扩大对外开放的决心和积极努力，这也增强了包括AECOM在内的外资企业对中国市场的信心。去年12月，我们在上海设立了AECOM中国区管理总部，今年第二季度，我们也将于成都设立华西区总部。《中华人民共和国外商投资法》将自2020年1月1日起施行，我们期待更加开放、更加优化的营商环境，这将为AECOM带来新的成长机遇。
”Q4: With disposable incomes rising, China is accelerating the development of the service
sector to satisfy people’s growing need for better lives. How will this create opportunities for your company?
随着中国居民可支配收入不断上升，中国正加快发展现代服务业，以满足人民日益增长的美好生活需要。这将为贵公司创造怎样的机会？
A demand for higher quality of life and a sustainable future is a natural aspiration. At AECOM, “inspire” and “anticipate” are two of our core values that influence everything we do. It’s our mission to elevate communities and understand the complexity of our clients’ challenges and help them see further. We will continue to bring global perspectives and transformational outcomes such as transit-oriented development and infrastructure-oriented development to address the critical challenges that the nation may encounter on its path to providing a sustainable future for its citizens.
随着中国经济的发展，国民GDP水平和人均可支配收入一直稳步上升，人们有理由追求更高品质的生活，城市的发展也应当满足城市居民对可持续和繁荣未来的需求。“激发”和“前瞻”是AECOM的两个核心价值观，影响着我们的方方面面。我们为社会创造发展机遇，理解客户面临的复杂挑战，帮助他们看的更远。我们将如公共交通导向开发（TOD）和基础设施导向开发（IOD）等全球化的视野战略及变革性的解决方案引入国内，以帮助中国应对其在可持续未来的道路上可能遇到的挑战。
”Q5: What are your views on the government’s ongoing efforts to cut red tape and enhance work efficiency?
您如何看待中国政府在简化办事环节和手续及提高工作效率方面所作出的不断努力？
We sincerely appreciate government efforts to streamline procedures and enhance efficiency. Considering China’s strategic importance to AECOM, such efforts will allow us to more effectively and efficiently capitalize on our scale and breadth as a fully integrated infrastructure company. We have confidence in China and look forward to growing along with Chinese enterprises to build a better future for China and beyond.
中国对AECOM来说是具有战略意义的重点市场。中国政府积极推进整体工作流程优化，提高工作效率，确保了AECOM作为一家全方位基础设施公司能够充分发挥我们规模庞大和业务多元的优势，为我们在华投资和拓展业务提供了广阔空间。AECOM对于中国市场充满信心，也期待与中国企业共同成长，为中国乃至全球，构筑一个更美好的未来。
”正如钟小平先生所说，AECOM亲眼见证了中国的飞速建设与发展，也感受到中国对城市发展的关注正逐渐从量转变为质。未来，中国更优化的营商环境，也将助力AECOM为中国城镇化建设提供国际化的视野以及专业的本地化服务。
